Dry Air Remains Over Alabama; Dorian To Grow Stronger

Strong Storms This Evening; Dry Tomorrow
RADAR CHECK: Showers and strong thunderstorms continue to develop across North and West Alabama this afternoon ahead of a surface front. Heavier storms are producing gusty winds, heavy rain, and lots of lighting as they move east/southeast. Away from the storms, the sky is partly sunny with temperatures in the 80s. Storms will end later tonight as drier air begins to push into North Alabama. Continue reading

Beneficial Summer Rain For Alabama
WET DAY: A deep layer of tropical moisture remains over Alabama today, and with an upper trough to the west we expect a wet late summer day with occasional rain and possibly a few thunderstorms. No severe storms, and we don’t expect any flooding issues today (we did have some yesterday around Muscle Shoals, where 5-7 inches of rain came down in only two hours). There is a good chance many communities will hold in the 70s all day because of clouds and rain; the average high at Birmingham on August 26 is 90. Continue reading
